In  presenting  a catalogue  to  the  trade,  we  do  so  with  the  kindest  regards 
to  those  patrons  who  have  so  kindly  favored  us  with  their  orders  in  the  past. 
\\"e  have  tried,  in  compiling  the  present  volume,  to  keep  the  demands  of  a 
progressive  public  before  us,  and  assure  our  customers  in  presenting  them  with 
a new  and  revised  Catalogue,  descriptive  of  the  goods  we  manufacture,  they 
can  depend  on  the  finished  article  being  the  best  of  its  kind  made.  The  ma- 
terial and  workmanship  throughout  being  thoroughly  first  class  in  every  re- 
spect. We  have  for  many  years  made  quality  and  prompt  shipments  a specialty, 
and  in  extending  our  line  this  season  have  kept  our  old  watchwords  before  us, 
and  can  assure  our  friends,  both  old  and  new,  of  a continuation  of  our  past 
efforts  to  serve  them  promptly  and  well. 

We  would  call  special  attention  to  our  Reversible  Eaves  Trough,  which  is 
to-day,  perhaps,  the  most  popular  and  widely  known  eaves  trough  made.  We 
shall  continue  to  use  in  this  B.B.  Galvanized  Iron  of  best  quality,  using  full 
weight,  No.  28  U.  S.  Standard  guage,  making  a trough  perfect  in  every  detail. 

Our  Ceiling  Department,  of  which  we  issue  a separate  Catalogue,  will  be 
found  to  embrace  a most  artistic  selection  of  designs,  while  in  our  Tinners’ 
Supply  Department,  we  carry  a full  line  of  Tin  Plates,  Sheet  Copper,  Zinc, 
Black  and  Galvanized  Iron,  Rivets,  etc. 

Thanking  our  many  friends  for  their  generous  patronage  in  the  past,  and 
assuring  them  of  our  earnest  efforts  to  merit  a continuance  of  their  favors,  we 
are,  soliciting  the  favor  of  a trial  order  from  those  who  have  not  as  yet  dealt 
with  us. 

Very  truly  yours.

Patent  Slip  Joint  l^eversible  Eaves 
Tronoli. 

(Patented  Nov.  7tli, 

Made  in  lengths  of  lo  fl.  of  No.  28  gauge  Best  Galvanized  Iron. 

W K DEVISED  IT.  OEK  COMPETITOKS  PURLOINED  IT. 

WHY  YOU  SHOULD  USE  IT. 

It  is  the  best  in  the  market;  tlic  easiest  and  quickest  ad- 
justed: the  strongest;  and  gives  the  most  perfect  satisfaction. 

It  has  no  right  or  left-hand  bead;  no  waste  or  useless  stock 
left  on  your  hands;  no  time  lost  in  waiting  for  stock  so  long  as 
you  have  a single  length  left. 

No  solder  required;  half  the  labor  saved;  not  affected  by 
cr)ntraction  or  e.xpausion;  much  stronger  than  soldered  trough; 
docs  not  get  out  of  order;  and  is  made  of  the  best  stock  the 
market  affords. 

F.y  our  improved  method  of  making  slip  joint,  we  have  over- 
come the  difficulty  usually  experienced  in  slipping  joints  to- 
gether. 

No  friction,  no  lost  tempers,  no  bad  words. 

THE  liE.Vl  'JA  OF  IT. 

Each  section  is  provided  with  a slip  joint  at  one  end.  the 
beads  of  which  arc  provided  with  piarjecting  tubes;  the  slip 
proper  is  also  provided  with  projecting  flanges,  which,  acting 
as  guides,  receive  the  entering  section,  throwing  it  in  line,  so  the 
projecting  tubes  of  bead  on  one  section  receive  beads  of  entering 
section.  A gentle  pusli  docs  the  rest. 

It  is  always  ready  and  does  not  have  to  be  coaxed  into 
amiability;  in  fact,  it  is  the  be.st  mannered  Trough  in  the  world, 
and  always  does  what  is  proper,  thus  winning  for  itself  a high 
position  in  the  regard  of  dealers  and  tinners  generally.

Berger’s  Patent  Adjustable  Irons. 

Furnished  in  either  Single  or  Double  Bead,  as  desired. 

Patented  October  14,  1879. 

Used  mainly  for  Slate  Roofs  and  where  it  is  undesirable  to  nail  on  Roofing. 

They  ean  be  adjusted  to  any  fall  of  the  trough  desired,  as  the  holes  in  the 
circles  are  so  arranged  that  when  one  is  even  with  those  in  the  shank  for  the 
bolt,  the  next  is  part  way  over  another,  thus  giving  a fine,  uniform  fall  in  the 
trough. 


Adjustable  Rafter  Irons. 


No.  II  Irons  are  especially  adapted  to 
Barns,  Mills  and!  Factories,  where  the  raft- 
ers are  exposed.  The  shank  is  nailed  to 
the  side  of  rafter,  assorting  the  4,  and 
9-inch  shank  to  correspond  with  the  amount 
of  fall  required. 


Adjustable  Roof  Irons. 

No.  12  Irons  are  made  pitch  to  fasten 
under  the  shingles  or  slate,  and  are  easily 
bent  to  more  or  less  pitch.  The  holes  on 
top  of  the  shank  are  made  beveling,  so  that 
the  nail  can  be  driven  at  any  point  and 
enter  the  shank. 


No.  IB. 


Adjustable  Drive  Irons. 

No.  7 Irons  are  made  to  drive 
square  in  the  cornice  from  3 to  4 
inches.  The  lower  prong  forms  a 
brace  for  the  upper,  and  makes  it 
very  strong  and  firm. 

No.  9 is  to  drive  with  the  pitch 
of  the  roof. 

For  crooked  eaves,  drive  and 
bolt  the  irons  to  a line. 

No.  8 Irons  are  made  to  drive  fiom 
3 to  6 inches  square  in  the  cornice,  the 
lower  prong  forming  a brace  for  the 
upper.  This  iron  is  intended  for  eaves 
where  the  shingles  or  slate  project  far 
over  the  cornice. 

No.  13  drives  with  the  pitch  of  the 
roof.

cles, always  spread  Trough  to  a true  compass  inside  of  bead.

Xever-Slip  Conductor  Hooks. 

The  Advantages  of  Tliis  Hook  Are: 

The  points  are 
arranged  to  catcli 
the  corrugations 
of  corrugated  con- 
ductor an<l  hold 
firmly. 

W'ill  hold  plain 
^ round  conductor 
fas  well  as  corru- 
gated conductor. 

It  holds  the  pipe  firm,  cannot  slip 
as  with  smooth  common  hooks. 

The  points  simp'y  dent  in  the 
pipe,  doing  no  injury. 

Does  not  require  soldering  to 
the  piiie;  when  hooks  are  driven 
the  work  is  done. 

In  ordering  hooks  for  2-inch 
round  corrugated  conductor,  al- 
ways specify  2>^-inch,  for  that  size 
pipe  measures  2^4  inches  in  diam- 
eter

'I'he  “Peerless”  Kaiii-Water  Ciit-Oft'. 

(Patent  August  30,  1892.  Other  Patents  Pending.) 

Advantages  Over  All  Others. 

ist.  It  catches  every  drop  of  water. 

2d.  It  cannot  turn  back  by  the  force  of  the  water. 
3d.  It  requires  no  weight  or  catch  on  the  lever  to 
keep  it  to  its  place  when  turned. 

4th.  The  lever  being  short  and  having  rests  or  stops, 
it  cannot  be  broken  loose  by  trying  to  turn  it  the  wrong 
way. 

5th.  Having  the  shifting  tube  working  loosely  in- 
side the  case  instead  of  a scoop  or  pan,  the  flat  surface 
of  tin  does  not  come  in  contact;  consequently  it  is  not 
liable  to  freeze  or  rust  fast. 

6th.  Jamming  or  denting  the  case  will  not  interfere  with  its  working  so 
readily  as  it  does  with  others. 

/th.  Instead  of  being  made  of  coke  or  cheap  plate  and  varnished  over 
to  make  it  ATTRACTIVE,  we  use  the  BEST  GRADE  OF  PLATE,  such  as 
good  first-class  mechanics  prefer  to  use. 

We  would  be  pleased  to  receive  a sample  order  for  the  PEERLESS,  know- 
ing full  well  “once  used,  always  used,”  would  be  the  result.

MATERIAL  USED. 

OUR  Doubi.e  Folding  Lock  Seam,  Stkuble's  Cap  Seam,  Standing 
Pressed  Seam  and  Roll  and  Cap  Roofings  are  made  of  genuine 
STEEL  only,  and  not  of  iron.  Certain  other  manufacturers  quote 
Steel  Roofing,  but  use  only  an  ordinary  quality  of  iron,  thus  deceiv- 
ing customers  and  doing  a great  injustice  to  honest  competitors.  Few  manu- 
facturers understand  the  importance  of  using  best  quality  of  roofing  steel  in 
their  products,  and  oftentimes  use  semi-steel,  which  is  made  largely  of  scrap, 
and  is  in  every  way  an  inferior  material. 

Our  steel  is  made  by  the  best,  rolling  mills  in  the  country,  to  our  order; 
it  is  re-rolled  and  box  annealed,  and  perfectly  free  from  scales.  It  is  soft  and 
tenacious,  standing  any  test  to  which  steel  can  be  subjected  without  breaking. 

'Fhe  metal  is  thoroughly  inspected  and  all  imperfect  sheets  thrown  out,  the 
utmost  care  being  maintained  throughout,  so  that  our  steel  can  be  safely  relied 
upon  to  give  perfect  satisfaction. 


OUR  GUARANTEE. 


We  Guarantee  all  of  our  roofings  (except  corrugated)  to  stand  the  test  of 
double  seaming,  either  lengthways  or  crossways  the  sheets,  without  breaking. 

We  also  guarantee  all  of  otir  roofings  and  sidings  to  be  full  weight,  and 
solicit  comparison  with  other  makes  of  roofing,  much  of  which  is  light  weight. 


The  established  rc/^utalion  of  manufacturers  should  be  considered  by  buyers 
in  placing  orders. 


A First-Class  Metal  Roof  Will  Give  Better  Satisfaction  Than 
Any  Other  Known  Material.

Steel  SheetvS,  Painted. 

A roof  is  a biiilcliiig's  crown,  and  in  a permanent  Iniilding  is  only 

second  in  importance  to  a good  foundation,  as  it  is  always  on  duty;  therefore, 
we  give  our  material  the  well  deserved  protection  of  ;i  coating  on  both  sides  of 
pure  Linseed  Oil  Paint. 

For  this  purpose  the  standard  is  Iron  0.x.idc;  however,  in  some  instances 
preference  is  given  to  genuine  Graphite  Paint  (Plumbago). 

■All  our  paints  are  re-ground  in  boiled  Linseed  Oil,  and  brushes  are  used- 
ill  applying  the  coating  on  every  painted  sheet  of  our  material  by  which  all 
parts  of  the  sheet  are  well  and  evenly  covered,  producing  the  required  result, 
which  cannot  be  so  well  accomplished  by  any  other  method. 


Steel  Sheets,  Galvani/;ed. 

For  durability,  Galvanized  Roofing  has  no  equal.  It  is  rust  proof,  requires 
no  painting,  and  will  last  a lifetime.  It  is  suitable  for  any  climate,  as  it  is  not 
subject  to  injury  from  natural  causes.  The  galvanized  coating  gives  protection 
to  the  body  of  the  sheet. 

-As  Galvanized  Sheets  may  be  soldered,  when  necessary,  it  makes  a roof 
particularly  adapted  for  flat  surfaces,  in  this  respect  having  a great  advantage 
over  black  Steel  Sheets,  painted,  which  cannot  be  soldered.  We  consider  a 
galvanized  roof  the  cheapest  covering  that  can  be  used  on  a buildin.g;  and  it  is 
undoubtedly  the  best. 


PAINTING. 


Steel  or  iron,  be  it  of  the  very  finest  quality,  will  rust  if  not  protected  with 
paint;  therefore,  we  recoinmend  that  roofing  be  well  coated  with  the  best 
quality  of  Iron  Oxide  or  Graphite  ground  in  pure  Linseed  Oil,  as  soon  as 
applied  on  the  building.  Another  coat  should  be  applied  after  a period  of  a 
year,  and  thereafter  at  inlirials  of  three  to  four  years,  as  may  be  found  neces- 
sary. 

If  these  instructions  are  followed,  a .Metal  Roof  will  last  an  ordinary  life- 
time.

Compared  with  Shingles. 

Shingles  arc  made  of  such  timber  as  cannot  be  used  in  more  valuable 
building  material.  They  are  short-lived  and  neither  fire  nor  weather-proof. 

The  greatest  number  of  fires  originate  on  the  roofs,  which  places  insurance 
at  a very  high  rate;  therefore,  shingles  are  dangerous  and  fast  growing  in  dis- 
favor. 

Steel  and  iron  covering  is  fire-proof,  and  a perfect  protection  from  the 
elements. 


Comjicired  with  Slate. 

Slate  Roofing  requires  a steep  pitch  and  a heavy  expen.sive  structure,  to 
support  the  great  weight,  which  is  almost  seven  times  as  heavy  as  Steel  Roofing. 

It  will  break  from  freezing  and  thawing,  or  from  heat  of  adjacent  fires; 
costs  twice  as  much  and  is  more  e.xpensive  to  keep  in  repair;  also,  the  rule  of 
measurement  is  always  greater.  Slate  often  causes  buildings  to  settle  out  of 
shape. 

Steel  can  be  applied  faster  and  on  a cheaper  surface. 


Compared  with  Tin. 

Tin  Roofing  Plates  are  not  solid  tin  sheets,  but  Steel  or  Iron  is  the  base, 
the  tin  or  lead  being  only  a coating. 

Tin  Roofs  contain  from  eight  to  ten  times  more  cross-seams,  which  are 
soldered,  and  as  solder  is  a weaker  material  than  tin,  the  joints  will  break  open 
from  contraction  and  c.xpansion  and  other  natural  causes. 

Our  Steel  Joints  are  fewer,  stronger,  and  being  very  elastic  are  fully  equal 
to  the  demand  of  contraction  and  expansion. 

LIGHTNING. — It  is  an  absolute  fact  that  lightning  has  never  injured  a 
building  covered  with  Steel  or  Iron.  The  large  surface  of  the  metal  scatters 
the  electricity  and  renders  it  harmless. 

INSURANCE.— Metallic  covered  buildings  reduce  the  rate  of  insurance 
fidly  one-third.

[•'dling  sliould  invarialjly  be  used  under  Metal  Roofing,  especially  when 
applied  over  foundries,  engine  rooms,  or  wliere  steam,  gas,  and  vapors  come 
in  contact  with  the  roofing. 

W'c  recommend  its  use  under  all  roofs,  as  during  frosty  weather  it 
prevents  dripping  when  the  frost  is  melting:  protects  the  paint  on  the  under 
side  of  Metallic  Roofs,  deadens  sound,  and  is  a non-conductor  of  heat  and  cold, 
thus  making  buildings  cooler  in  summer,  and  warmer  in  winter.  For  prices, 
sec  pages  13S-9. 


COST  OF  LABOK 


In  applying  Roofing  varies  from  twenty  to  fifty  cents  per  square,  owing  to 
size  and  pitch  of  roof.  On  an  ordinary  pitched  roof  one  man  can  lay  from 
ten  to  twelve  squares  per  day,  so  you  will  readily  be  able  to  make  estimate  on 
sucli  work.

Steel  Roofiiiy. 

This  roof  is  well  known  to  the  trade  at  large,  many  millions  of  feet  now 
being  in  use  in  the  United  States.  In  this,  by  our  improved  method  of  making- 
cross  seams,  the  imperfect  allowance  for  contraction  and  expansion  that  has 
been  the  greatest  defect  in  many  sheet  metal  roofs,  especially  on  fiat  surfaces, 
has  been  overcome. 

No  nails  or  screws  are  used  througli  the  sheets,  and  no  rivets,  countersinks 
or  perforations  through  the  scams  to  hold  caps  on. 

All  fastenings  arc  completely  covered  by  cap  formed  the  tough  way  of  the 
metal. 

Mach  sheet  is  laid  independently  and  may  be  removed  without  injury,  and 
in  case  it  becomes  necessary,  a part  of  the  sheet  can  be  easily  removed  without 
disturbing  the  rest.  It  is  easily  adapted  and  can  be  satisfactorily  applied  to  any 
class  of  building,  as.  readily  to  the  highly  ornamented  and  minutely  comi)licated 
residence  as  to  manufacturing  establishments. 


Aiich(>raj>fe. 

The  cap  seam  is  one  of  the  most  securely  fastened  down  of  any  roof  in  the 
market,  and  to  those  who  prefer  sheet  roofs  is  sure  to  give  satisfaction. 

Can  be  safely  used  on  roofs  having  only  ^ of  an  inch  fall  to  the  foot.

For  Sidiiio-,  Ceiliiij*',  Doors,  Shutters,  A\viiiii<rs,  Kte. 


Made  of  Black,  Fainted  aiitl  Galvanized  Sheets  of  the  Best 

Quality. 


Corrugated  is  the  strongest  ktiown  I'orin  of  Slieet  Aletal,  and  itnparl^ 
material  strength  by  its  lineal  rigidity  to  the  structure  to  which  it  is  attached. 

It  is  the  best  material  known  for  use  on  structures  of  moderate  cost,  tliat 
are  intended  to  be  fire-proof 

The  rigidity  imparted  to  comparatively  light  sheets  by  corrugating  makes 
them  self-supporting,  thereby  permitting  their  use  on  light,  inexpensive  framing, 
the  result  being  a substantial  building,  w'iih  a handsome  architectural  appear- 
ance. 

W'e  Recommend  Corrugated  Sheets  especially  for  siding,  ceiling  and  parti- 
tions for  fire-proof  buildings,  and  it  is  only  necessary  to  suggest  the  advantage 
of  using  this  material  for  such  protection. 

We  make  only  a high-grade  quality,  guaranteeing  both  material  and  work- 
manship, corrugating  by  pressure,  i.  e.,  make  one  corrugation  at  a time.  This 
produces  more  perfect  formations  and  better  fitting  laps  at  ends  and  sides  of 
sheets  than  can  be  produced  by  any  other  process. 

The  method  of  corrugating  by  rolls,  used  by  nearly  all  other  manufacturers, 
does  not  produce  uniform  corrugations,  nor  regular  covering  width  of  sheets. 

In  furnishing  quotations  on  Pressed  Corrugated  Iron,  we  should  be  allowed 
about  5 per  cent,  advance  over  quotations  on  Rolled  Corrugated  goods.  This  is 
more  than  saved ^ 

First — By  economy  in  laying,  as  Pressed  Corrugated  Iron  can  be  laid  in

How  to  Estimate  Amount  and  Cost  of  Corrugated 

Sheets. 

First  select  the  best  lengths  of  sheets  to  fit  the  space,  bearing  in  mind  the 
end  laps.  On  Siding  one  inch  lap  will  do,  while  for  Roofing  nothing  less  than 
three  inches,  and  if  a slight  pitch,  six  inches,  for  end  lap.  As  each  sheet  of  No. 
28  Gauge  lays  just  two  feet  wide,  it  is  a simple  matter  to  ascertain  the  number 
of  sheets  necessary  to  cover  the  space.  Then  estimate  the  number  of  feet  in  our 
two  (2)  and  two  and  one-half  (2I/2)  inch  corrugated  sheets,  as  follows: 

6 feet  long,  13  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

7 feet  long,  15^0  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  iti.  wide. 

8 feet  long,  lyj/j  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

9 feet  long,  iglA  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

10  feet  long,  21^  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

On  iJ4  ti'ich  or  small  Corrugate  Sheet,  figure  as  follows: 

6 feet  long,  12^  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25^  in.  wide. 

7 feet  long,  hH  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25^  in.  wide' 

8 feet  long,  17  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25J4  in.  wide. 

When  necessary  we  can  ctit  sheets  in  the  middle  and  give  half  sheets  of  any 
of  the  above  lengths.  When  we  cut  to  odd  inches,  say  7 feet  9 inches,  we 
charge  for  an  8 foot  sheet,  unless  we  have  two  or  three  weeks  in  which  to  fill 
order,  so  as  to  have  the  sheets  made  odd  sizes. 

We  always  ship  No.  28  Gauge,  8 or  to  foot  sheets,  when  not  otherwise 
specified  in  order. 

As  no  allowance  is  made  for  laps,  the  following  table  gives  the  number  of 
square  feet  necessary  to  cover  one  square  (100  sq.  ft.)  of  surface,  providing 
there  is  no  waste  in  cutting. 

These  tables  are  based  on  using  96  inch  sheets;  if  longer  or  shorter  lengths 
are  used,  there  will  be  a slight  variation  from  the  following  estimate.

DIRECTIONS 

Kor  Piittiiifi  Oil 

Steel  Brick  Sidiiio-  over  Wood  Slieathiii^r. 


ist.  Get  the  level  of  your  building  entirely  around  its  base  or  top  and 
strike  a line  corresponding  thereto. 

2nd.  Place  a full  sheet  of  siding  at  one  corner  of  the  building,  allowing 
the  end  to  extend  two  or  more  feet  past  the  corner  so  that  the  cross  grooves  are 
immediately  over  the  corner,  the  lower  edge  of  the  sheet  resting  on  the  chalk 
line. 

3rd.  Nail  the  sheet  fast  to  the  wall  through  the  grooves  sufficiently  to 
hold  it  fast  and  bring  it  down  solid  all  the  way  along.  Begin  at  the  middle  of 
the  sheet  to  nail  and  work  towards  ends  and  sides,  putting  nails  two  or  three 
bricks  apart.  Never  nail  through  the  brick.  ^ 

4th.  Bend  the  projecting  two  feet  around  the  corner  with  the  hands  or 
with  a piece  of  board,  using  a mallet  slightly  to  bring  down  any  uneven  places. 

5th.  Lay  around  the  l^uilding  until  you  meet  the  commencement.  Place 
the  first  sheet  of  the  second  tier  over  the  first  so  as  to  break  joints  perfectly, 
as  in  brick  work,  letting  the  half  groove  at  the  bottom  of  the  sheet  lap  over 
the  first  and  fit  closely  in  tlie  half  groove  at  the  top  of  the  first  sheet. 

6th.  Window  and  door  frames  should  not  be  put  in  until  after  the  siding 
is  on.  But  in  case  the  frames  are  in,  the  Steel  Siding  may  be  applied  and  faced 
at  doors  and  windows  tbc  same  as  for  wood  siding. 

/th.  .^t  windows  or  doors,  cut  the  sheets  about  three  inches  above  the 
bottom  sill,  and  tbc  same  distance  from  the  side;  then  cut  from  the  corner  thus

Host  wick  Fire  Proof  Steel  Fatli. 

Hcst  and  Cheapest.  Xo  Waste  of  Material.  Reduces  Fire 

I nsnraiice. 


Bostwick  Fire  Proof  Steel  Lath  has  been  on  the  market  for  several  years. 
It  makes  a strong  and  true  wall.  No  waste  of  material,  as  it  is  furnished  15 
inches  and  24  inches  wide  and  96  inches  long,  which  will  cover  without  waste 
on  12  inch  and  14  inch  centers. 

It  is  the  cheapest,  as  it  does  not  require  as  much  mortar, — only  just  enough 
for  a first-class  job.  The  plaster  passes  through  the  openings,  the  loops  are 
imbedded  and  form  a double  tie  or  key  on  the  back.  No  waste  by  dropping  of 
plaster. 

Bostwick  Fire  Proof  Steel  Lath,  put  on  with  loops  outward,  are  superior 
for  mineral  wool  fillings,  and  will  securely  hold  an  inch  of  plaster  put  on  and 
rodded  at  one  time.  Two  coats  of  plaster  can  be  put  on  from  same  scaffold; 
no  other  lath  can  do  this. 

Bostwick  Fire  Proof  Steel  Lath  is  applied  to  wood  studding  or  joist  with 
loops  out,  and  drive  with  three  penny  wire  nails  every  three  inches.  For  solid 
partitions,  Ij/a  inches  thick,  use  a wrought  trunk  nail  clinch  around  the  channel 
iron.  When  nails  cannot  be  used.  No.  20  wire  must  be  used.

RULES  FOR  MEASURING, 

After  the  Material  is  Apjjlied  to  Building. 

Roofs. — Measure  the  length  of  the  roof,  including  the  amount  turned  up  or 
down  at  each  end  or  gable,  and  multiply  by  the  distance  from  eave  to  eave,  in- 
cluding the  material  used  in  the  ridge  seam,  and  the  material  lapped  either  down 
or  up  at  eaves. 

Roofs  with  Hips,  Valleys,  Dormers,  Etc. — Measure  each  section  through 
the  center  horizontally  and  multiply  by  the  length  of  the  strip  of  metal  at  the 
center,  and  in  addition  to  the  actual  surface  of  the  roof,  measure  the  length  of 
hips  and  valleys  by  one  foot  wide.  The  extra  measure  of  hips  and  valleys  is  to 
compensate  for  the  extra  labor  and  loss  of  material  in  cutting,  fitting  and  laying 
same. 

Openings. — Make  no  deduction  for  openings,  chimneys,  stacks,  skylight, 
dormer  window,  or  ventilator,  unless  such  openings  measure  more  than  50  sq. 
feet;  if  more  than  50  sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  half  the  size 
of  the  opening;  if  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  the  full  size  of  opening. 

The  labor  to  flash  pipes  and  round  stacks,  whether  of  brick  or  iron,  is 
charged  extra. 

The  reason  for  not  deducting  otherwise  than  is  specified  is  that  the  waste 
of  material  and  extra  work  in  cutting  and  fitting  the  material  for  flashing  such 
openings  is  equal  to,  or  greater,  than  the  value  of  the  materials  cut  out. 

Gutters  and  Valleys.— Multiply  full  length  hy  full  width  of  girt. 

Siding.— Multiply  full  length  of  each  section  by  the  height.  Deductions. — 
Make  no  deduction  for  any  window,  door  or  other  opening,  unless  said  opening 
measures  more  than  10  sq.  ft. ; if  more  than  10  sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than  25  sq. 
ft.,  deduct  one-half  of  such  openings.  If  more  than  25  sq.  ft.,  deduct  all  of  such 
openings,  except  when  the  wood  casings  to  the  windows,  doors  and  other  open- 
ings are  to  be  covered  with  iron  or  steel  casings ; in  such  instances,  no  deduc- 
tions for  openings  are  to  be  made,  whether  the  openings  be  more  or  less  than 
10  sq.  ft. 

Gables. — To  estimate  contents  of  gables,  multiply  the  width  by  one-half  the 
height,  or  multiply  the  height  by  one-half  the  width. 

Corner  Strips. — Are  charged  extra  by  the  lineal  foot;  the  cornice  is  charged 
extra  in  all  instances,  as  the  price  varies  according  to  the  girt  of  material  used 
and  style  of  the  same. 

Eave  Troughs  and  Conductor  Pipes. — Measure  the  entire  length  and  add 
one  foot  extra  for  each  Mitre,  Shoe  or  other  angle. 

Flashings. — Measure  all  material  used  necessarily,  including  unavoidable 
waste,  except  where  no  deductions  are  authorized  for  openings. 

Ceilings. — Multiply  the  length  of  each  section  by  the  width ; separate 
mouldings,  panel  division  strips,  stylings,  cornices  and  friezes  are  calculated  by 
the  lineal  foot,  extra;  rosettes  and  other  ornaments  are  charged  by  the  piece; 
painting  other  than  first  coat  is  always  charged  extra.  Make  no  deductions  for 
openings  measuring  less  than  10  sq.  ft. ; if  more  than  10  sq.  ft,  deduct  the  full 
size. 

Scaffolding. — Where  scaffolding  is  necessary,  the  customer  is  to  furnish 
all  necessary  materials  for  the  same  free  of  charge,  and  the  roofer  is  to  construct 
the  scaffolding  free  of  charge. 

Domes,  Spires,  Doors,  Etc. — Measure  all  material  necessarily  used,  includ- 
ing waste;  charge  for  it  at  its  value,  together  with  cost  of  labor,  applying  the 
material  at  wages  agreed  upon.

Galvanized  Steel  House  Tanks. 


This  illustrates  what  we  term  our  “House  Tank 
Style”  of  construction.  The  sides  and  bottom 
are  double  seamed  together,  and  all  seams  lapped 
and  securely  soldered.  The  top  is  surrounded 
by  heavy  wire  as  shown  by  illustration  or  with 
angle  steel  at  same  price.  The  following  prices  are 
based  on  House  Tanks  made  of  No.  20  galvanized 
steel  which  is  extra  heavy  for  this  purpose  and 
makes  a tank  very  superior  in  every  way  to  the 
common  house  tank  as  generally  used.

(ial vailixed  Slice])  I)i])|)iui>-  Tanks. 


A topic  of  imicli  importance  to  sheep  breeder.s  and  one  much  discussed  at  this 
time  is  tlie  necessity  of  ridding  their  docks  of  ticks  and  “scabs,”  and  the  preven- 
tion of  the  further  increase  of  these  pests.  A sheep  tortured  by  the  biting  of  these 
insects  cannot  thri\  e properly  and  incurs  a direct  loss,  to  the  owner.  Their  pres- 
ence worries  the  sheep,  decreases  the  appetite,  and  consequently  they  do  not  fat- 
ten properly  for  market. 

The  fibre  and  texture  of  the  wool  is  weakened  and  the  fleece  seriously  injured 
by  the  rubbing  and  pulling  of  the  animal  in  its  efforts  to  rid  itself  of  these  tor- 
inenters.  The  improved  character  of  the  wool  repays  the  cost  of  the  dipping,  and 
jrrovides  a healthy  stimulant  to  the  skin. 

Our  dipping  Tank  has  the  endorsement  of  all  sheep  dip  manufacturers  as  well 
as  prominent  sheep  breeders  who  are,  and  have  been  using  our  tanks  for  this  pur- 
pose for  some  years.  Opinions  differ  as  to  size  and  shape  of  sheep  dipping  tanks, 
but  our  e.xperience  has  proven  that  a tank  constructed  as  shown  by  our  illustra- 
tion is  the  best  for  the  purpose.  They  can  either  be  used  on  the  ground  or  sunk, 
as  preferred  Our  Galvanized  Steel  Sheep  Dipping  Tank  prevents  waste  of  the 
dip  from  leaking ; they  are  always  ready  for  use;  are  strong  and  durable,  and 
much  cheaper  and  more  convenient  than  the  wooden  vats  heretofore  so  generally 
used  for  the  purpose.  If  other  sizes  or  shapes  are  wanted  we  will  be  pleased  to 
quote  prices  on  application.
